If you're building a team, you need to know the strengths and weaknesses of each individual. We all have strengths and weaknesses, and as a leader you need to understand your teams capabilities and when it is most beneficial to deploy their skills.
Don Vito knew how and who to use in different situations. He knew to send tom hagen for certain formal negations, and knew when to use Luca Brasi. He placed capable people such as Tessio and Clemenza in key positions, however made sure that any major tactical decisions would come through him, as he was far more capable than them. He also ensured that he allowed collaboration within his organisation, where all his subordinates were assisting each other and utilising each other different skills and areas of expertise, to achieve their goals.
For example, he would send Tom Hagen to try to negotiate politely, but if those negotiations failed, he would send in the brutal enforcer Luca Brasi.
We also see Michael removing Tom Hagen as consiglieri when he takes over. Like we mentioned earlier, Michael wast using his emotions, rather he knew in order for the plan he and the don wanted to enact, Tom would ned to be removed, as he wasn’t a war time consiglieri.

Let’s understand how Vito was truly able to make offers they can’t refuse.
Firstly he understood that person, he gathers all the necessary information he needs to know who they are, what they want, and what they hold most dear. To then make an offer that he knows they are extremely willing to accept or have no choice but to accept as the repression from refusing are too dire.
Vito being a criminal mafia boss, he does use violence to his advantage as that’s another major factor people rather accept his offer from the first time.
Secondly, the don made sure it was mutually beneficial deal to an extent, where they aren’t doing anything that was detrimental to their own business.
Thirdly, and this is what really gave him the upper hand, Don Vito leveraged his reputation as both a ruthless yet reasonable boss, to then get what he wants. He had a reputation of being honest in fulfilling his end of a deal and never betraying the trust of anyone who did business with him.
